The Official School Photo 1947.

Photo courtesy of Geoffrey Goss.
Mark Loosemore has kindly provided the colourised version shown at the bottom of this page.

This shows a complement of 402 boys plus 25 staff.

Below the photo is a table listing all the faces identified to date, in alphabetic order, along with the number shown in the pop-up labels (see below). The numbers start with 001 at the left-hand end of the rear row, with numbers increasing to the right, 101 at the left of the next row down, and so on. There are about 50 to 60 boys in each row. Thus it should not be too difficult to locate the face belonging to a given name.

Also below the photo are links to show enlarged portions of the photo.

Please use your web browser horizontal scroll bar to pan the entire photo.

To pop-up an individual's name, place your screen cursor over the individual's face. If you recognise a face which has no name, or is incorrect, please e-mail me, quoting the number in question.

My thanks to Ian Carr, Terry Parsons and Geoffrey Goss for identifying many of the faces below.

The links below create pop-ups showing enlarged portions of the photo above. Since the photo is so large, the enlargements are in three portions; left, centre & right, with a small overlap. By clicking on these links, the appropriate portion is shown in a new window which can be resized and moved about at will. The enlargements do not have the pop-up labels as in the photo above. As these enlargements themselves are large files (5 to 7 megabytes), they will take a fair time to download to your computer.
If the enlargement disappears any time, don't worry - it's probably behind this window. Just bring it to the front again.
